TTALY'S NEW PLEA BARS COMPROMISE DEBT SETTLEMENT Grandi Asks Canceliation as Condition to Erasure of Reparations. MACDONALD DEMANDS ACCORD BY THURSDAY | Mussolini Insists on Agreement Before Lausanne Conference Is Adjourned. By the Associated Press. LAUSANNE, Switzerland, July 5.— Weary negotiators at the Lausanne Conference faced a new hurdle today in their efforts to reach a compromise settlement of the war debts and repara- tions problem. Dino Grandi, Premier Mussolini's black-bearded young foreign minister, rocked the conference to its founda- tions last night by demanding on be- half of Italy complete cancellation of intra-European war debts as a condi- tion to cancellation of reparations. | Signer Grandi’s notice to his fellow | conferees was served in a statement he gave to the press yesterday. The con- ference, meanwhile, was watling hope- fully for the return of Premier Edouard Herrlot from Paris to go ahead with the compromise plan proposed by the nvek major powers tg Germany last week. Duce Wants Settiement. “What are nations which have debts to meet going to do without repara- tions receipts from Germany?” Signor Grandl asked. In Italian circles it was intimated Premier Mussolini would in- sist on a settlement of this question before the conference adjourns. With six of the smaller nations showing marked discontent with the five-power plan for a German bond of approximately $1,000,000,000 in lieu of immediate reparations payments, it be- came apparent today Italy might block any settlement until satisfaction was given on questibns she raised. Germany was under heavy pressure, ‘however, to accept the five-power plan, which contains & provision linking the reparations settlement with debts due the United States from the World War allies. Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain served notice he wanted the whole matter cleared up by Thursday, as he intends to return to London then. lan, 000,000 in , ginning in 1937, the payment to be her maximum contribution to reconstruc- tion and to replace the proposed $1,- 000,000,000 bond.

GENEVA 0 WEIGH HOOVER ARMS PLAN France Said to Be in Recep- tive Mood for Parley as Conference Nears Close. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. The American delegatio nat Geneva | has informed the State Department | that the disarmament conversation will | be resumed during the course of this | week. Although there have been already several private conversations between | some of the chief delegates, it is un- known what the trend of the resumed discussions will be. There is, however, no doubt that the Hoover disarmament proposal will be taken under considera- tion and prospects are that the Geneva Conference is entering into its final stages. From reliable quarters it is learned that the French are in a “disarm ment mood” and that their deleg: tion will do its utmost to co-opera with the Americans to bring the con- ference to & successful conclusion. The British are equally desirous to conclude the arms parley, but there is a diver- gence of opinion as to the best methods in their delegation. Premier Mac- Donald and some of his friends are said to be in favor of mupm& reduc- tions, while Sir John Stmon, the Brit- ish foreign seci , is in favor of pro- ceetling very carefully with the disarm- ament problem. The Italians as well 2s the smaller European countries are anxious for a settlement as soon as possible, and any plan which will bring about an actual reduction is favored by Japan to Disagree. Japan, maintains her previous posi- tion that she is in an unique position in the Far East and that consequently she cannot agree to any substantial re- duction especially in some special types of warships. While the State Department seems | optimistic about the outcome of the conference, it is impossible to say what will actually happen at Geneva in the course of this week. In spite of the of- | ficial optimism, it appears doubtful whether a compromise calling for dras- tic reduction can be reached. On the other hand, the Hoover arms reduction proposal had not been fully digested by the interested nations and there is no doubt that a number of counter proposals will be offered by Great Britain and some of the other countries. DICKEY SUSPENDED | IN REYNOLDS ATTAC Catcher for Yanks Disciplined by | Harridge for Affray at Local Park. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 5—Catcher Bill Dickey of the New York Yankees today was indefinitely suspended by President Willlam Harridge of the American League, for assaulting Carl Reynolds, ‘Washington outfielder Beyond the bare announcement that Dickey had been “suspended indefinite- 1y,” President Harridge had nothing to say. It was believed, however, that the New York catcher would be kept out of the game at Jeast until Reynolds re- covered from his fractured jaw. Dickey struck Reynolds and fractured | his jaw yesterday. On a second sprint for home after a squeeze play, Reynolds charged into Dickey, who was blocking the plate and scored the tying run. Dickey then swung his “jaw breaker,” charging the Washington star with un- necessary roughness. President Clark Griffith of the Sen- ators telegraphed President Harridge, demanding that Dickey be fined the limit and be suspended at least until Reynolds was able to return to the game. General Resolution Seen. Under the circumstances, well inform- | ed observers are inclined to think that a general resolution calling for an ef- fort to curtail araments will be passed at Geneva and the conference will then adjourn to study the proposal of Presi- | dent Hoover and the counter proposals of other nations. Such an adjournment would not brand the conference a failure, since there will be an understanding to meet again as soon as the various proposals have been carefully studied and also after | the many political and financial prob- lems, which have been causing the present tension in Europe have been ironed out CURTIS APPEAL DUE IN LINDBERGH HOAX| Counsel Will Seek Writ of Error Some Time This Week as Time for Sentence Nears.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SBpecial Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, July 5—With both na- tional conventions passed into history, a national campaign more gripping than any America has witnessed in 35 years has begun. While prohibition will play a part, economic readjustments will be the principal and controlling issue. Radicalism or conservatism? This is the choice the voters will be asked to make, though to be sure the Democrats will deny they intend radicalism, while the Reg:bllclns will insist they ought not to classed as reactionaries. The Democrats will call themselves ‘“pro- gressives” and their opponents the champions of “reaction,” while the Re- publicans will not hesitate to proclaim themselves as ‘“liberal conservatives” and their opponents as true radicals. Before the campaign is over the American people will be asked to be- lieve that the triumph of one or the other party is going to make a pro- found change in America’s economic history. The Republicans are promis- ing already that an expansion of credit and the measures now under way will br economic equilibrium, and that the Democrats are seeking power in or- der to put into effect the public owner- ship views of men like Senator Norris of Nebraska, who has already indorsed Roosevelt, and Senators Dill of Wash- ington, Wheeler of Montana and Huey Long of Louisiana. all of whom played a prominent part not only in the writ- ing of the platform, but in the victory of the Roosevelt candidacy at Chicago. Will Accept G. O. P. Plank. ‘When the conservatives of the East set the Norrises and the Longs and the Wheelers riding on top of the wave they will be inclined to think the Republican prohibition plank is wet enough to suit them and they will gird themselves for the real fight between two major forces, representing different schools of thought in economic evolution. Certainly the liberal-conservative ele- ment in the Democratic party, repre- sented by former Gov. Smith, John J. Raskob, Jouett Shouse, John W. Davis and Gov. Ritchie, is not going to be happy in a national campaign which champions the ideas of the Western Democrats. They will, of course, make speeches and remain loyal to the party, because to do otherwise would be set- ting a bad example, but if the attitude of conservative Democrats in and around Chicago is an indication of what is coming among the followers of this “Iiberal-conservative” group of leaders, then it may be taken for granted that large numbers of business men who have classed themselves as Democrats are going to vote for Herbert Hoover. An intimation, or rather an anticipa- tion, of this was given by Gov. Roose- velt himself in his acceptance speech when he warned what he termed “nom- inal Democrats” that they had better move out of the party because they were out of step with the times. Ap- parently the New York Governor is willing to sacrifice that group in order to win the elements that formerly sup- ported his distinguished kinsman, rheodore Roosevelt, and also the Wood: ow Wilson kind of Democratic doc- | trine. Splits in Both Parties. The campaign will quickly reveal these cleavages inside the Democratic party, and to some extent, among the Republicans, for there are radical Re- publicans, in the Western vote for President Hoover, but will prefer Gov. Roosevelt This shifting of party lines may be expected to a larger extent than in any campaign since 1896. The Eastern States with large electoral votes are normally conservative in a presidential year, but it remains to be seen whether the economic depression has caused a political upheaval there, too The danger for the Roosevelt cam- paign lies in growing too explicit about the character of rmnomFC changes that the Democ would attempt to put into effect if elected. So long as their promises are general, the attack of their opponents will have to be gen- era The strategy of the Republicans un- doubtedly will be to shU‘:r to Eastern States and business communities in the MISSING IN RACE Dirigible to Search Between New York and Bermuda.

DIFFERING ESTIMATES AS TO NUMBER IN LINE| Veterans Claim 16,000, While Count | Shows Less Than 5,000—Police Find 11,760 in Town. | Once again the bonus seeking legion of World War veterans marched down Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol to- day to impress on Congress their de- mands for immediate payment of the bonus. The demonstration, staged on the broad expanse of the Capitol plaza and the steps of the Senate wing, followed a parade down Pennsylvania avenue from the Monument Grounds—the sec- ond of its kind since the arrival of the vanguard of veterans more than six weeks ago. After listening to a number of speeches on behalf of the bonus and in protest against Congress adjourning before enacting legislation to cash the | adjusted service certificates, the demon- | stration broke up shortly before 12:30, | the veterans disbanding quietly and | many of them returning to their quarters. Difference in Figures. Careful count of the marchers made by newspaper men from the Depart- | ment of Commerce placed the total number in line at 4,701, in addition to 17 women and 13 children. The park | police estimate 5500. Leaders of the | Bonus Expeditionary Forces claimed 16,000 veterans made the trek. During the absence of the veterans from their camps, police took advantage of the opportunity and made a count of those who did not participate in the | parade, and on the basis of their fig- | ures said that the total number of | bonus marchers now in Washington is 11,760. } From the Capitol steps the leaders | :lnnounced there are more than 22,000 | ere. | Orderly Procession. A strange procession it was that | wended its way from the Monument | grounds to the Capitol—just a thud of | heavy feet, a mass of American flags and a varied assortment of weather- beaten banners and placards carrying the mute pleas of the solemn-faced men for the bonus and an opportunity to work There were no bands and, of course, no martial music to lighten their steps and buoy their dampened spirits. A fife-and-drum corps pro- vided the only military touch to the procession. No disorder marked the parade or the demonstration and none was antici- pated, although the Police Department was prepared for any eventuality. Start From Monument, The parade started from the Monu- ment grounds, the veterans marching east on Constitution avenue to Fifteenth | street, thence on Pennsylvania avenue and down the Avenue to the Capitol grounds. Capt. Doak E. Carter, tm’mer’ Army officer, led the parade in the ab- sence of National Comdr. Walter W.| Waters, who flew to New York to ob-| tain meat to replenish the almost ex- hausted B. E.
